you go into a pool, and try to do that. Then imagine swimming the whole game. Then imagine fighting underwater while doing both of those. Then imagine also trying to throw the damn ball.

I dont even play it. But my brother was all cif for shooting, and swim. His team was national champions for 3 years. 4 players went to US national team.

.

i was gonna say that. we played in gym two years ago. it is insane hard. and my school's team finished 3rd this year in the Beast of the East tourney. 2nd last year

EDIT: and your not allowed to touch the bottom the pool, regardless of the shallow end or deep end

Lacrosse is #5 IMO. You need total body fitness for lacrosse, but boxing, wrestling, water polo, and mma are ahead.

it really depends what position you play in lacrosse as well. to be a top midfielder, a top fitness level is required, but for defense...not so much.

anyway, im a 2nd team all state midfielder, i consider myself in great shape, but i stepped into a boxing ring a couple of weeks ago... holy **** was i tired. that takes an incredible amount of stamina.

Although, golf does require some physical attribute. Walking roughly 4 miles with a 30 pound golf bag is not the easiest thing on the planet. But then again, that is nothing compared to my old hockey days.

I'm trying to think of it like this: which sport would do the best in all the other sports?

I think football for these reasons:

basketball - not the best at shooting, but fast and agile and jump high.
football - duh.
lacrosse - could deliver some crazy hits, endurance would be fine, speed would kill.
soccer - bad kicking ability, at least for accuracy, but sopme would be OK on endurance, some would not even be close.
tennis - a very skill-oriented sport, need a ton of technique, but in better shape than tennis players. Bad overall.
wrestling - no technique, but OK endurance, probably better physical shape since footballers are used to eating as much as they want.
boxing - endurance would kill footballers here.
hockey - kinda up for grabs.
cross-country - every football player would die.
paintball - footballers would kick ***.
